You Can Never Have too Many Coats

If you live in an area that gets colder during the winter months, you can never have too many coats. I often like to switch up my coats depending on my outfit and mood. If I am wearing a thick sweater, I’ll wear a cape coat that isn’t as restricting. One of my faves is this Double Breasted Cape Coat from Shein and it’s only $21. If you’re into printed coats, then you’ll love this Plaid Cape Coat from Shein as well for only $34. But the coat that caught my eye was this simple Checkered Coat.

I ordered this checkered coat in a size 2X to be sure the coat was roomy. I hate feeling restricted and stuck in a coat. Normally, I wear a size 14, so ordering this in a 2X was the perfect decision.

The great thing about this coat is that it has real pockets, no fake pockets like some other jackets or coats have. The downside is that it has no buttons or zippers for closure. But since it’s a simple checkered design, you could add a fun belt to the outside of the coat to keep it closed.

Since I chose to wear the coat open with no belt, I chose to pair it with all black outfits and add colored boots for a pop of color. But since the checkered design is simple, you can pair it with jeans, a colorful dress, really anything you want. I’ll be sharing deets about this pretty dress very soon, but if you want a close up now, you can check it out HERE.
